What is a raptor used for? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
tamed raptors can make meat not spoil for long time when your riding it you can do the pounce attack like wild ones do go near a small creature do the pounce attack then the raptor your riding on sits on the small dino then do the normal attack reapiet doing it then the raptor will eats it alive
you can find raptors in dark areas or humid areas of ark, the most common biome you will ever find raptors is the redwoods or outside the redwoods next to a river or swamp, you can use bolas and punch it, but it might escape and pounce you so its strongly recommended to use a taming pen, i like to use a quetzel to put a platform saddle on it, use ramps, window frames and foundations, and wait for a raptor to go inside the pen, and then i fly back to my base and knock out the raptor with a slingshot
A pack of 3-4 mid level raptors and a couple of dimorphs make for a great PvP pack when running solo. The speed of these creatures combined with their ease of tame and utility makes for a force to be reckoned with. Ghille armor, a few raps and dimorphs, and maybe a tank and you're set to solo any players without huge tames.
So a tip if u have a raptor is u can pounce with it while riding on it. Idk how to do on pc only on mobile. Yk when u jump u have to swipe up yeah? Swipe down instead and swipe down near the creature that u wanna pounce on (u can only pounce on creatures smaller than the raptor for example: Dodo, Dilo, Lystro and more.)when ur riding the raptor. Pounce on and hit it while standing on it. Hope this was helpful!
Build a pen and nonstop breed and fill it with raptors, pegomastax, troodons, ichthyornis, eels, kaprosuchus, thylacoleo, purlovia, squids, direwolves, arthropluera, titanoboa, poison wyverns, ice wyverns, piranhas, megalania, bats, rock golems, managarmr, and yutyrannus and fill it with c4 and you now have a stress relief pen.
Before entering some big fight with that ride, force feed him stimberries ;
It would drop the feed level, and by so, it would provide some kind of automatically force feed (more or less same effect for argentavis, just when you've farmed a corps)
This technic, plus a good saddle would makes you almost invulnerable (didn't tried yet with other tames, honestly)
Works on mobile, no clue for other devices
